Binance Expansion Amidst all odds
Despite the difficulty in regulations, it is good to know that the exchange platform is not relenting in fully supporting the crypto industry. It has gained lots of regulatory approval to operate in several countries. Some of these include Dubai, Spain, and France, amongst many others.
Last month, the cryptocurrency exchange also re-entered the Japanese market four years after tightened regulations forced it to exit the nation. The approval comes after it received in-principle approval to function as a digital assets trading platform in Kazakhstan.
Consequently, the exchange platform can now provide its numerous services to the citizens of Bahrain. The license which was endorsed by the cooperation council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC) allows it to offer full-fledged operations.
Binance is still gaming for more territories to conquer and it still remains the largest exchange by trade volume.
